DeviantArt Saturday: Oh.. FREAKOUT!

So I just got Freakazoid on DVD not too long ago. I believe I mentioned that before. I then had the sudden random thought (you know, I've never actually tried looking up Freakazoid fanart), and boy what a haul I found. I'm amazed that Freakazoid really DOES have quite the cult fanbase. I mean it's nothing new to see various references here or there, but man, I tell you, I was digging through Deviantart with such glee. Picking around just 5 (to make it easy for me to type out, but at the same time, challenge myself into finding the best possible) was hard.

I'm going to start off with a real bang here:

Here's various entries drawn by Udon artist Jeffrey Cruz (individual pics clickable). He also made an AMAZING little comic entry for ComicCon. I can actually see Paul Rugg voicing this scene. Also check out this "movie poster" he did back in 2005. I find the really fat lips kinda freaky, but boy can I imagine a Freakazoid movie. This counts as one entry BTW :p

CandleJack by Scarecrow Artist

One thing I was surprised at in my Freaky Art search, was just how damn popular Candlejack was, there's actually qu

...

Okay back, see apparently there's this a popular internet meme that's really starting to fire up where people will cut off their posts simply by saying his name. Because of this, he has quite a selection of art available on DA. It was rather surprising.

Of course, just because this is a "Freakazoid" entry, doesn't mean I'm sticking with just the titular character. Next to big man himself, there's freakin' Cosgrove. Seriously, the man takes crap from NO ONE! I was sad to see him not as popular as I would've liked. I did see this though.

Good For Me by Pyrotech07

I say "Good for Me" a lot. And I think that phrase is unique to this series. So yeah. This explains things a bit better.

Not only could I imagine Paul Rugg saying this, but I could GUARANTEE YOU, that if Freakazoid was still on the air, they'd have a full fledged Naruto parody somewhere with Freakazoid running around tormenting the Naruto cast. BELIEVE IT!

Final verdict: Like I said Freakazoid art is good stuff. Granted a large portion consisted of doodles and not some of the stuff here. But there's no disturbing imagery either. I had a TON of images I had to narrow down. Nothing but good stuff for the freak.

Wii can hack

-Forgot to mention this last night, but here's a video showcasing a new Wii Homebrew app called "Ocarina", which basically works like a Gameshark and allows you to load custom cheats into Wii games. Most of the stuff is for Brawl, but there's some Wii Sports and Mario Kart there too.

-New gameplay footage from Dissidia. Tidus vs Jecht. Youtube or Official Site

Shiny Fighter Goodness

-More SCIV Character Creations. UGO has a top 50 list here.

-Dangeki has posted 3 new screenshots from KoF XII and it's looking GORGEOUS! You can also make out some returning characters like Strawberrry Blonde Mullet Ryo, Ralf, and Robert.

-BREAKING! Square-Enix to swallow Tecmo. Wonder if Dead Fantasy will become a Dead Reality (lolz see wht I did thar?)

-Interesting news for my New Zealand friends. Nintendo to strengthen their presense in NZ.

Freebie

-Courtesy of Lifehacker, Yahoo Finance has an article up on the best freebies around. Not so much software, but a variety of stuff from Free 411 to Free Public Transportation. Worth a quick read.

-So as I'm typing this, the PS3 Lightning Sale is going on Amazon. I just heard about this site, which seems to get the insider word on Lightning Deals before they're revealed. They also have a streamlined list of all Amazon's big deals. Definitely worth a Bookmark!

-Interesting Mario Flash movie from newcomer "Basil-Ovelby". It takes the koopas and other nonhuman Mario characters and personifies them into Human Anime characters. Definitely worth a look (cool music is used too)

-I kept forgetting to post this. It's a trailer for an upcoming DS game called "Kumatanchi" an adorable little "pet" sim ala Nintendogs. Except instead of dogs you raise a cute little Anime "Bear girl" (Kuma means bear). It's got some AMAZING 2D graphics, and just looks overwhelmingly cute (in a good way).

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!

-Hilarious Megaman Flash movie here.

-Found some Japanese Cartoon Network videos here and here. The latter is interesting as I'm not quite sure if it ever aired here in America or not. It's pretty cool, regardless.

-More Soulcalibur IV Custom Character Videos: FF6, FFT, and both FF6 and FFT all done by the same user.

And starting in...

Sorry, I just wasn't feeling good on Saturday for the DAS update, I'll finish it during the week and post it next Saturday.

-Kotaku reports that Amazon is having a series of PS3 sales starting Wednesday at Midnight (End of Tuesday) and all through out the day. I just got Dragon Quest Swords for a mere 16 bucks on a previous lightning deal, so I'm sure you'll find some worthwhile deals here. I know I'll be keeping an eye out.

-Iron Man and Wolvering getting their own Anime series (together?) done by Madhouse in 2010. There'll apparently be three other Marvel based Anime series comign after. ANN has the scoop!

-Hyadain has his original Ganbare Goemon video back up with new artwork. Apparently, from what I can tell, the original was taken off due to some kind of art dispute which has now been resolved. Speaking of Hyadain, someone finally made a solid English sub of QUICK! with their own animation attached.

-Found a freeware program if anyone's interested. Let's you split large AVIs into pieces or pulls out a clip.

Getting into Saturday

Yeah sorry for the lack of updates, had some unexpected and long work days. I do have a couple interesting things and I have a DAS update for tomorrow, don't worry.:

-New characters confirmed for Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Megaman Trigger and Doranjo is confirmed: You can see some new cam vids of a new trailer and a new match with MM. You'll notice the trailer has some sweet Anime footage. Not surprsing since Tatsunoko is an Anime studio. Oh and a little bonus. Doronjo seems like quite the *interesting* character. Seriosuly I was doing some research, seeing some veteran Anime fans talking about it. Doronjo was pretty much THE character that started the "bumbling trio" bit in Anime (like the well known Team Rocket) I'm really interested in finding out more about Tatsunoko's history by playing this game.

-I have to say I'm not really interested in MK vs DC, the game looks REALLY "blah". I mean what were you thinking DC? But I have to say Midway made Joker AWESOME.

-G4 has an exclusive series going with a "Mockumentary" on the development of Strong Bad's video game. Good stuff! Episode 1 is up now.

-True to Ubisoft, they have a new Rabbids promotion for Leipzig (the third done for the Game Convention if you're counting)

Finally, no pun intended, here's a new gameplay video (no trailer) for FF Dissidia featuring FF3 Luneth/Onion knight Pwnage. It's worth noting, it was confirmed that O.K.'s voice is Jun Fukuyama who also voiced Roy in SSB: Melee.
